                                        Monday, January 26, 2009. An Exam Visitor from Egypt, A Young Swiss Tourist and Lots More Family Visits. I came across a Malaysian women here on business for a week. There was also an English woman who combined a holiday in Byron Bay with business in Sydney. However she stayed in a backpackers in both places and not the typical luxury hotel for a business visitor. A Friendly Italian With An Aussie Wife, A Surprise Birthday Party and Horse Riding in the Snowies. Others of note included a friendly young Am...

                                        Saturday, February 21, 2009. More Planning Their Return, Lots of Swiss and A Problem Thai Dental Treatment. It was another interesting bunch of people that I came across this weekend at the airport. These included 3 Swiss travellers - more than I would usually come across. All enjoyed their stay and travels here and one did an intensive English course at Byron Bay. It'd have to be a good combination there - beach, partying and learning English all at the same time! Thursday, February 19, 2009. I ran acro...

                                        Sunday, April 26, 2009. Northern NSW and Growing Tomatos. Flying home to Europe on Malaysia Airlines this week were two people who had spent all their stay in the Northern Tablelands area of NSW. The first was a Swedish woman who came to visit her daughter who was living in Walcha, a small country town in the area. She alos visited three other towns in the area - Gunnedah, Armidale and Coonabaraban. Coonabaraban is most famous for its large radio telescope. Monday, April 20, 2009. My first encounter was ...

                                        Sunday, December 28, 2008. An Aussie in Bangladesh, Another with a Thai Tattoo and a Guy Who Missed Out on the Sydney-Hobart Yacht Race. There were a couple of Aussies heading off to Thailand to live and work there. One of these was a teacher who already had 'Mai Pen Rai' tattooed on his arm. This is a common Thai saying which loosely translates to 'Never Mind', 'No Problem' or 'No Worries' as us Aussies commonly say. I also chatted to a guy who had been in Sydney to be part of the crew on '. Among the o...

                                        Saturday, May 30, 2009. Fashion Design from Thailand and a New Army Graduate. I had another short shift at the airport this weekend but everyone I spoke to was very friendly and told interesting tales about their visit. Also travelling on Thai was a young Polish girl who is studying tourism in Sydney and was going back to Poland for a sad and unexpected trip home - her father had just died and she was returning for his funeral. Emigrating to New Zealand. Sunday, May 24, 2009. I did a shorter shift this w...

                                        Sunday, October 18, 2009. Cruising to Oz and From NZ to Bathurst. Apologies for the last few weeks break in updating my blog. This weekend I came across many people leaving Australia after literally only a few hours stay in the country. They were mostly American citizens who had cruised from Honolulu to Sydney, arriving in the morning and on a flight back in the other direction in the afternoon. Hopefully they will spend a little more time in our country next time! Other travellers included US businessme...

                                        Tuesday, March 31, 2009. Missed By A Day and Another Stuck In Transit. I came across a lady from Brunei who had arrived in Sydney one day too late for the birth of her second grandson. Her daughter, who lives in Sydney, had given birth 3 weeks earlier than expected so it was quite a rush trip this time for her. All were well and happy. Transit at Sydney airport. Monday, March 23, 2009. Sleeping At The Airport and Living In Mongolia. Last week I spoke to a traveller who had stayed on their own yacht on Sy...

                                        Tuesday, August 25, 2009. From Seattle to Sydney and a Russian Student. Another friendly bunch of visitors this last weekend! Travelling to Honolulu on Jetstar for a Hawaiian break was an American women who had just spent time in Sydney on business. Also on the same flight was an English couple on Round the World tickets. I also came across an English businessman who spent 3 weeks in Sydney and stayed at the lovely Coogee Beach for all his stay. Wednesday, August 19, 2009. I came across a few visitors wh...

                                        Friday, June 12, 2009. A Fish Conference and a New Niece. Last Saturday I chatted to a couple of American marine scientists who had been in Fremantle, Western Australia for a fish and marine life conference. It was some conference with over 1000 people attending from all over the world. After the conference they spent a week in the south western corner of W.A. So yet another varied and intersting batch of travellers at Sydney Airport. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). On Top of the Harbour Bridge.
